No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: The Cramps (photo by Anton Corbijn).

We’d like to think Goldilocks might have felt at home at the Purple Bat Lounge last Saturday night: Not too hot, not too cold — it was just right. So much so, in fact, that many of the patrons were unconscious midway though the evening. A curious state of affairs in no way owing to the efforts of DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy, their four tumultuous sets of music sufficient to annoy the bar’s neighbors…a fact lost on the couple whose evening began on top of the pool table and ended, in somnolent fashion, beneath that same table. Uncle Morty stopped by to replenish Lee-Roy’s supply of medicated gummi bears, bringing out an altruistic side to the dog which even Reeshard, his guardian, didn’t know he possessed. Click below in the right spots to hear about all this and more. Oh, tune in anyway…

As summer headed for the fire escape, temperatures fell and though the Purple Bat Lounge remained a hellish fetid pit, thankfully the ‘hellish’ component was dialed down somewhat. That didn’t stop one of the bar’s DJs — of course it was Lee-Roy…what, you had to ask? — from spending much of the evening in question on the Outdoor Patio, communing with beings he described as “mechanical elves from hyperspace…with really cool hats.” Did we mention that Uncle Morty had stopped by previously, dropping off a canister marked Ayahuasca Purple? But this was a mere diversion. The important stuff of Saturday evening was built upon four sets of music designed by Reeshard & Lee-Roy to defeat productivity and sobriety, music that grabbed the Purple Bat’s patrons by the collective scruff of their necks and shook them as though it all meant something. You can experience this feeling too (hopefully without encountering the aforementioned elves) by clicking in the appropriate places immediately below. Tune in anyway…

The late summer heat wave has abated somewhat, allowing for the inhabitants of The Purple Bat Lounge to pursue their respective vices as usual. Though no one’s fooling themselves  — the Outdoor Patio remains in the alley out back, along with its endlessly fascinating bug zapper, awaiting the next spike in temperature. For the moment, however, DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy crafted four sets of music, rootsy, raucous and rocking by turns, to entertain those patrons still aware of what was going on around them. The Madison featured another Dolemite double feature (making Lee-Roy so happy) and Uncle Morty stopped by with a small canister of something dubbed “that Carl Sagan weed” (making Lee-Roy even happier). The Midnite Mobile Dispensary™ clocked yet another lawn jockey when pulling up in front of the bar (making Reeshard not so happy, though he learned long ago to buy the ceramic figures in gross). Other things happened as well on this most entertaining Saturday evening, things which you can experience vicariously by clicking in the right spots below. Tune in anyway…

It’s still summer and, within the Purple Bat Lounge, life proceeds at its own sordid pace. Our bartender (and part-time dominatrix) LaWanda invented a warm weather variant of her notorious Lee-Roy cocktail, which made one of the DJ’s very happy. The bug zapper is still entertaining those gathered at the Outdoor Patio in the alley behind the bar. Two slightly topical but more likely just weird Blaxploitation films screened at The Madison. And, as always, Uncle Morty’s truck — when is he going to wash that thing? — pulled up in front, dispensing something called Diablo. You just know nothing good could come of that…and to no one’s surprise, it didn’t. Throughout the evening a few dozen house rocking tunes played, giving Reeshard & Lee-Roy the ostensible appearance of having done something constructive. It’s so easy to amp up your late August evening just like we do, simply by clicking in all the right places, immediately below. Tune in anyway…

The medieval English rota had it wrong: Summer Is Icumen In no longer applies, as the season has overstayed its welcome, at least within the sweltering confines of the Purple Bat Lounge. In response to the increasing number of heat prostration casualties on a given evening of late — well, they were prostrate, though the heat may not have been to blame — management decided to install an A/C unit. Trouble was, as said unit fell off the back of a truck, it didn’t come equipped with the requisite coolant installed. Freon couldn’t be obtained on short notice, so some bright spark decided to try nitrous oxide. (Which, to no one’s surprise, is always on hand at the Purple Bat.) You can guess the rest. Otherwise, Reeshard & Lee-Roy spun four sets of storming party music, The Madison ran another twin-bill of Pam Grier drive-in movies and Uncle Morty stopped by to drop off an old favorite. And so, despite the heat, our favorite pit bull had a most righteous Saturday evening. You can experience this in vicarious fashion, just by clicking in the right spots below. Tune in anyway…

The unfortunately named dog days of summer continued this past Saturday at The Purple Bat Lounge, though the heat didn’t stop Reeshard & Lee-Roy from spinning four great sets of music. Sure, tempers occasionally flared and inflammatory remarks colored the evening’s dialog — the dog is SO sensitive about that spaying business…even now…go figure — but no one was shot. A curious twin-bill of vintage AIP drag race movies screened at The Madison. Our pitbull DJ was deeply underwhelmed by this, but experienced a change of heart once Uncle Morty’s Midnite Mobile Dispensary™ pulled up to the curb, simultaneously destroying the bar’s lawn jockey and bringing a canister of Pink Candle to Lee-Roy’s attention. Not exactly life-altering stuff, but that’s not what we’re selling here. To learn what we ARE selling, and so much more, just click in the appropriate spots immediately below.

And so we survived another Saturday night, its temperature moderated only by the proximity of ice cubes. Fortunately, the latter were in ready supply, doled out in one’s and two’s by LaWanda, bartender at The Purple Bat Lounge. Resident DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy selected four sets of high energy tunes, and we learned of a most Psychotronic™ twin-bill playing at The Madison: a pair of horror movie musicals(?). Lee-Roy, alongside his principal frenemy Nice Guy Eddie and assorted other reprobates, spent significant time mesmerized by the bug zapper adjacent to the bar’s outdoor patio in the alley out back. To paraphrase: It was the not-quite-best of times, it was the slightly-better-than-worst of times. An evening well spent, or at least artfully murdered, in a dive bar on Brush St..

Saturday night took on the aspect of an overworked pizza oven, especially within the sweat-summoning confines of the Purple Bat Lounge, and no one was more annoyed by the heat than N.C.I.P.’s canine co-host Lee-Roy. He loitered near bartender LaWanda, in faint hope that she might open the beer cooler and forget to close the door. Truly desperate, the pit bull retreated to the Purple Bat’s reopened Outdoor Patio — really just a group of folding chairs in the alley. What management termed a ‘patio’ was defined by a semi-circular arrangement of trash cans and a carriage lamp-model bug zapper, its violet death ray entertaining those unfocused types drinking al fresco. Now and then Lee-Roy would report on doings out back to his co-worker and guardian, Reeshard, while the latter cued up a perfect soundtrack to this fetid climate. The dog, to his credit, rallied in time to deliver a storming final set. It should be noted that none of those clichés about murder at high temperatures were actually borne out. True, other stuff happened, but you’ll have to listen (as below) to discover just what that was. Tune in anyway…

The music played, drinks were poured and strange vapors wafted from the Women’s doorway…all seemed well with the world, or at very least with the perverted microcosm of same represented inside The Purple Bat Lounge. Yet, amidst the merriment, an unsettling sound was heard again and again at irregular intervals, the sound of trouble brewing. A deeply unsettled Reeshard grilled his co-host, turning up the heat even to the point of threatening to send Uncle Morty’s truck on its way. With this ultimate threat, Lee-Roy caved to the pressure and revealed the source of the eerie sound: the dog’s longtime frenemy, green-fanged tuxedo cat Nice Guy Eddie, an employee of a bar down the block, now granted political asylum on The Purple Bat’s roof. Of Eddie’s plight we learned much, including the source of said disturbing sound. You’ll hear all this and so much more by clicking appropriately below. Tune in anyway…

You may love the Fourth of July’s pyrotechnics, but take it from one who knows: Dogs do not share your love for this holiday. Oh no, not just your tiny bit. Imagine an trembling 80 lb. pit bull glued to the side of your knee and the ensuing difficulty performing daily tasks factored into the weekend, and you’ll have half of an idea about life with Lee-Roy at this time of the year. The Purple Bat’s bartender, LaWanda, rallied to her canine friend’s plight, whipping up a batch of extra-potent Lee-Roy™ cocktails as four sets of terrific music colored the evening. Uncle Morty also came through for his four-footed pal, delivering a Detroit-themed delicacy tailor-made for alleviating the stress caused by those infernal boom-booms. Of course, no solution comes without a price, but you can find out about that, as well as the kung fu twin-bill at The Madison, three dozen cool songs and so much more, simply by clicking in the correct spots below. Tune in anyway…
